FAQ - Deposit and withdrawals
_

Can I use Swissquote as a “Wallet” (transfer in/out or make purchases)?

Which cryptocurrencies can I send to Swissquote?

Your Swissquote wallet currently only supports transfers for the following cryptocurrencies: XBT and ETH. Trying to deposit any other currency may result in the loss of your transferred funds. Support for BCH, LTC and XRP is planned for a later update.

Can I transfer cryptocurrency to/from a cryptocurrency exchange?

Deposits from an exchange

You can transfer cryptocurrency to your Swissquote account from any of the following whitelisted exchanges:

Coinbase

Kraken

Bittrex

Gemini

Bitstamp

Deposits from any other exchanges will be rejected and may incur additional transaction fees.

Please note that for legal reasons, deposits from exchanges are subject to additional confirmation steps: you will be required to provide screenshots of the transaction.

Withdrawals to an exchange

Withdrawals from your Swissquote wallet to a cryptocurrency exchange are currently not supported. Attempts to transfer cryptocurrency to an exchange could result in the loss of the transferred funds.

Transfers ordered during weekends or holidays will only be processed from the following working day.

Does Swissquote charge fees for cryptocurrency transfers?

There are no fees for cryptocurrency deposits of a value equivalent or superior to USD 500. Deposits under that value and withdrawals incur a USD 10 flat fee.

Is there a minimum deposit amount for cryptocurrency?

While there is no minimum deposit amount, please note that your Swissquote wallet only supports 8 decimal places. This means that deposits of smaller cryptocurrency fractions will not be accounted for.

Why was my Ether deposit rejected?

As Swissquote’s Ethereum transactions are generated from smart contracts, a common cause for the rejection of Ether deposits is an insufficient Ethereum gas limit. We recommend that you specify a gas limit of 40’000 on your external wallet prior to initiating the transaction, to ensure that it is executed promptly. Consult the help of your external wallet for details on setting gas limits. If you are still experiencing rejected transactions and cannot determine the cause, please contact our Customer Care Centre.

Are all Bitcoin address formats supported for transfers?

Bitcoin addresses in the Bech32 SegWit format are currently not supported for withdrawals. Attempts to transfer cryptocurrency to such addresses could result in the loss of the transferred funds.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not speculate, invest or hedge with capital you cannot afford to lose, that is borrowed or urgently needed or necessary for personal or family subsistence. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
